Frank, tlio 7-year-old son of
Mr. \V I> Cauthon of this place, |
had a narrow escape from drown- '
ing last Wednesday afternoon. )
After the big rain ho started for
tho cows and in crossing a branch j
he fell into water over his head,
lie caught to the limb of a tree
as he was washing down stream
and pulled himself out. Presence
of mind is what wived llio little
fellow's life.
An exceedingly heavy ruin fell
here, and so fur as wo have beard,
throughout the county la-t Wc<K
nasday afternoon. A gentlemen
from Bufordjtownship says that
upland new v plowed ground is
severely washed and badly dam
aged ; that the fertilizers which
had heen put out are h complete
loss, and that corn planted on
bottom land will huvo to be replanted.
The same is reported
from other sections. The rain
continues and it looks as though
the big freshet of 1K65 is to be
repeated this April.

3Iarrie?l at Newberry.
Mr. .) Webb White, a promi- I
nent mill constructor, son of Dr. h
W J White of this place, was married
in Newberry at 10 o'clock a m
on Wednesday last, to Missllattie
Hawthorne Hawkins, daughter of1
Mr. L A Hawkins of tint citv.
The ceremony was performed by '
the Kev. \V W McMorris, at thej
bride's home in the presence of I
relatives and only a few friends. 4
The Attendants were .Jack C White,
brother of the groom, with Miss 1
Grace Bedenlmugh, Henry Hoiloway
with Miss Eunice llalfacre:
,J It Bedenbaugh with Miss Mary
Cofield. ? '
The groom and his lovely bride
arrived at Lancaster on the 0
o'clock train Wednesday night
uud are spending this week with
the groom's parents. They will
return to Newberry tor spend a ^
week or so before going to Atlanta, |
their future home. j t
It in very remarkable that the
bride is only the third fsmale to
be in the White family in one
hundred years. The late .Jus W
White was born A. D. 1800. His'j
children were all boys, only one j <
of whom, Dr. NV .1 White, has
ever married. The Doctor has ,
two sons and no daughters. So | *
the late Mrs .Jas \V White, Mrs. |
W J White and Mrs. J Webb
White are the only females that
haVc been in the family for a; ,
whole century.
